You have to answer that for me. The left either were silent or the actively said that that Joy didn't mean what she wrote or was "hacked." Indeed, NBC sent out notifications that they stood with Joy. ABC didn't do that for Roseanne. BTW, 40% of Republicans and 41% of conservatives support gay marriage. Not a majority, but still a huge chuck. http://www.pewforum.org/fact-sheet/changing-attitudes-on-gay-marriage/
